CrossFit is back in action. Last year’s Lowlands Throwdown was virtual, so hearing the roar of the crowd as athletes from all around the world came together to compete was a next-level experience, even if you were tuning in from behind your phone screen.
The 2022 Lowlands Throwdown Semifinal was held over the weekend of May 20-22, 2022, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, with powerful athletes and nigh-unstoppable teams showing up to conquer legless rope climbs, sandbag carry relays, devils presses, and a whole lot more.
Below is a rundown of the events and a final leaderboard that will help determine who makes it to Madison this August.

Next up is the Fittest in Cape Town in South Africa, the Far East Throwdown in South Korea, the Granite Games in Minnesota, the Atlas Games in Canada, Strength in Depth in London, and, lastly, Copa Sur in Brazil.

[*]CrossFit 2150 Team Norce BL (460pts)
Coming Up
As the first weekend of the semifinals come to a close, there’s still more work ahead for other athletes competing for a spot in the 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games. Throughout the rest of May and June, athletes will be competing all over the world.
Next up is the Fittest in Cape Town in South Africa, the Far East Throwdown in South Korea, the Granite Games in Minnesota, the Atlas Games in Canada, Strength in Depth in London, and, lastly, Copa Sur in Brazil.
With Madison just a couple months away, the athletes are already proving what a great year it will be for the CrossFit Games. Only 40 men and 40 women will make the final cut, and the next month will show the world who has what it takes.
